?Why buy protection for your Galaxy S20?
The Galaxy S20s are among the most expensive smartphones on the market. They are indeed sold between €909 and €1 depending on the model chosen. Under these conditions, we would obviously prefer to avoid damaging it. Moreover, all three smartphones are mostly made of glass, like most high-end phones. As you might expect, the glass of the S349s is therefore prone to scratches and scuffs.
For example, a coin lying around in a pocket can indeed damage the AMOLED screen or the glass back. Despite Corning's Gorilla Glass 6, the S20's display isn't indestructible if dropped either. In the event of improper handling, you risk causing serious damage to the slab. This is why we advise you to opt for both a shell / case and a protective film for the screen.
?What are the different types of protection?
There are several ways to protect your smartphone. For basic protection and at a reduced price, you can opt for a silicone or transparent plastic case. This type of protection will save your Galaxy S20 from scrapes and scratches but may not be enough in the event of a fall.
For the most clumsy and adventurous users, we advise you to opt for a clamshell leather shell, which will protect both the screen and/or the glass back in the event of a fall. You can also choose a TPU case, a material that is stronger than silicone and more flexible than leather. It's a good alternative for users who refuse to sacrifice the thinness and lightness of their smartphone for better protection.
Finally, if you're looking to take your phone with you on a hike or during a sports session, go for an armor case that will protect your S20 in all circumstances. On the other hand, this kind of protection weighs down and thickens the phone.
?How much money to protect my Galaxy S20?
It all depends on the type of protection you opt for. For a good silicone case, count between 15 and 30 euros (for the Samsung version in particular). For a similar price, you will easily find a quality clamshell case. Higher-end and more robust cases, including armor shells, go up around 50 euros. As for protective films, you will generally find what you are looking for between 10 and 15 euros.
